it is not so much about obama. it is both -- it is both a rejection of the racial politics of the republican party and it's also the sense that we simply cannot go back. and that is where there is a real basis for hope. it is not just depending on a president. the second thing is that i feel in this administration the next four years we need from this president not simply policies, you know, desperately need an urban agenda. a whole series of things. one thing we really need is this president to say that unionization is one of the best ways to guarantee a rising, living standard for working people and that i am with the working person that wants to unionize. >> that is such an important point especially when you look at the african-american community. a black man who belongs to a union is likely to make 50% more than a black man who does not. a black woman who belongs to a union is likely to make a third more than a woman who does not. so while unionization helps all workers it has a disproportionate impact on afri
